Chapter 567: Chapter 343: My Dad is a General! The Can’t-Miss Homecoming Feast

Finally, white sesame seeds were sprinkled on top as a garnish.

When it was served, the aroma was absolutely intoxicating!

The third dish was Scallion Oil-Baked Golden Dragon King.

Similar to the second dish, it also required scallion oil.

However, the preparation method was completely different.

The so-called Golden Dragon King was a top predator from the Gourmet World, inhabiting coral caves deep within the Golden Coral Sea. It could be called the king of yellow croakers.

It had a long, slender body covered in scales that shone like 24-karat gold.

In the ocean, its scales would emit a golden radiance whenever light struck them.

Its flesh was clove-shaped, white as snow, and its umami flavor was a thousand times more intense than that of an ordinary yellow croaker.

If it weren’t consumed by Demigods or True Gods,

an ordinary person would lose their sense of taste after finishing this one meal.

Compared to the other dishes,

even though the meal wasn’t fully served yet,

in Zhang Yi’s eyes,

he had already decided that this Scallion Oil-Baked Golden Dragon King was his number one!

And indeed, once Zhang Yi started eating,

the texture of the Scallion Oil-Baked Golden Dragon King was truly number one as well.

The fish was incredibly tender. The moment Zhang Yi touched it with his chopsticks, it broke apart.

Yet, the separated meat fell into neat clusters, making it very easy to pick up with chopsticks.

The first sensation in his mouth was an unparalleled savory sweetness, followed by the complex aroma of scallion oil.

Chewing slowly revealed a richness full of collagen.

Not only that, but even the bones were fried to a crisp. There was no need to spit out fish bones; they were a delicacy in themselves!

The fourth dish was Wine-Scented, Rainbow-Feathered Celestial Chicken!

The Rainbow-Feathered Celestial Chicken lives in the Seven-Colored Phoenix Tree Forest and feeds on various Gemstone insects.

Its tail feathers were as brilliant as a rainbow, and it had a well-toned physique.

Its muscle fibers were extremely fine, containing a natural fruity aroma. Underneath the skin was a layer of transparent, crystalline fat that melted with heat, releasing a unique fragrance.

Special spices from the Gourmet World were added, along with the universal seasoning—Melk Star Powder.

The resulting whole chicken had skin as thin as paper and was filled with succulent juices, carrying a natural fruit and wine aroma.

That crystalline layer of fat under the skin melted into the meat, infusing every single fiber, making it incredibly smooth and tender, and bursting with fragrance.

The main courses that followed won’t be described one by one.

They were all delicacies from the Gourmet World that Zhang Yi had eaten before.

But even so, today’s meal left Zhang Yi profoundly impressed.

Looking at the feast his dad, Zhang Zengyuan, had meticulously prepared,

a warm feeling surged through Zhang Yi’s heart.

"When your grandfather found out that the two of us were preparing to return to the front lines,

and that you had also returned from the University Alliance Training Camp,

he personally expedited the shipment of this batch of delicacies from the Gourmet World."

"Several of the dishes in particular,"

Zhang Yi’s dad, Zhang Zengyuan, said, gesturing to the first three dishes.

"These three dishes are ones I painstakingly perfected. I failed several times before I got them right!"

"The cost of the ingredients from the Gourmet World that I wasted on my previous failures could have bought you two Five-star Unrivaled Quality Divine Domain Cards!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi wasn’t particularly concerned.

After the benefits of the food from the Gourmet World were discovered,

all the way from the top down,

all officers in the Blue Star Federation Army with a High Level military rank received a fixed annual quota.

These ingredients from the Gourmet World were distributed completely free of charge.

As for the mid-to-lower-ranking personnel of the Federation Military, they could also purchase a corresponding amount of ingredients as long as they were willing to spend their military merits.

Not to mention, the person overseeing the Crystal Wall System where the Gourmet World was located was Zhang Yi’s grandfather, Zhang Shumo.

Just the fact that his grandfather, Zhang Shumo, possessed the power of a Powerful Divine Being,

meant it was impossible for Zhang Yi to ever be short on ingredients from the Gourmet World.

It wouldn’t even be impossible to hire a chef from the Gourmet World to come cook for them at home.

However, for Zhang Yi and his parents, the important thing wasn’t the meal itself, but the significance of the family sitting together and eating quietly.

During the meal, Zhang Yi took the initiative to describe the series of assessments he went through at the University Alliance Training Camp.

From the first round’s provincial selection based on individual strength;

to the second round’s test of his ability to cultivate his Main Clan and support Clans;

and finally, the third round, which tested his ability to coordinate the entire team of Federation students...

The three rounds of assessments covered individual strength, Clan cultivation ability, and team coordination skills,

selecting from multiple aspects, determined to pick out the most formidable "hexagon warriors"!

Without a doubt, having made it to the end,

Zhang Yi—who had won the individual championship and led the students from the Yanhuang Federation to the team championship—

was considered a hexagon Warrior during his time as a Demigod, with virtually no weaknesses.

However,

when they heard Zhang Yi describe how the students from the White Eagle Federation launched a sneak attack on the Yanhuang Federation students Conductor Zhang Yi was leading,

Zhang Yi’s mom and dad couldn’t help but frown.

When Zhang Yi recounted how he ultimately led the Yanhuang Federation team to victory and how he seized the individual championship,

looks of pride appeared in his parents’ eyes.

Zhang Yi’s dad, Zhang Zengyuan, was the first to speak.

"As expected of the child I raised! He’s amazing, just like me!"

"Like you? What part of him is like you?"

"We were in the same University Alliance Training Camp. Don’t think I don’t know whether you won the championship or not in the end."

Faced with Zhang Zengyuan’s boasting, Zhang Yi’s mother, Hu Miaozhen, chose to tear him down a peg.

"If you ask me, it was all thanks to the 20 million Wealth Faith Value I transferred to our son’s card each month."

"During the six-month-long assessment at the University Alliance Training Camp, our son could use the Wealth Faith Value I gave him to buy Five-star Divine Domain Cards every month."
